Macrobenthic communities in tidal creeks with various levels of watershed development and along a longitudinal gradient (i.e., 1st, 2nd and 3rd orders) were sampled in NC, SC and GA to determine how development affected ...

Community structure, environmental conditions, and lesion regeneration in a reef-building coral species was assessed to compare the resilience of patch reefs in two areas of varying human impact in the Exuma Cays of the ...

Plastic pollution is widespread at both the macro and micro levels. While past research focused on the distribution and abundance of plastic debris on ocean front beaches, few studies documented the distribution in estuarine ...

On June 19, 1953 Ethel Rosenberg became the second woman and first mother to be executed under Federal law in the United States. Ethel was executed with her husband, Julius, for allegedly passing the secret of the atomic ...

Recent reviews have called attention to the lack of empirical research addressing theorized linkages between supporting ecosystem services, biodiversity, and cultural ecosystem services in estuarine and marine settings. ...

Behavioral variability can be adaptive under certain conditions. While reinforcement typically results in repetitive behavior, it is also possible to reinforce variable behavior, such as when pigeons vary between a number ...

Total mercury (Hg) concentrations and stable isotopic ratios of nitrogen (δ<sup>15</sup>N) and carbon (δ<sup>13</sup>C) were measured to assess differences in Hg bioaccumulation in six predatory fish species (<i>Mycteroperca ...

Mercury (Hg) contamination has become a global issue in the past century. Malaclemys terrapin life history traits including wide distribution, site fidelity, and long lifespan, may suit it for contaminant studies. The ...

Wetlands contribute an estimated 25% of the global annual methane (CH4) emissions. However, delineation of the processes responsible for the large variations in emission rates found within and across wetland types has been ...

Microplastics are ubiquitous in the marine environment and are comprised of heterogeneous small plastic particles (<5 mm). Previous research determined that Charleston Harbor contains 414±77 microplastics/m<sup>2</sup> in ...

Projectin and mp20, protein components of insect muscle are under investigation for their role in muscle contraction. Many studies in &lt;i&gt;Drosophila melanogaster&lt;/i&gt; flight muscles indicate that projectin is ...

Ranking items is very natural to our society. We rank the top 100 movies of the century, book lists, and of course, we always care about whether or not our sports team is in the number one position. The field of ranking ...
